Re:DM INDEX

Haha Theo, you should start new manors of your own and play with them, instead of sneaking around and ratting out other, innocent players!

You say "nothing can stop them", but a couple of days ago I almost lost all my manors. I have them under two different user accounts, and as I was switching from one user to the other, the second one reverted to factory settings, with the blue Windows default screen and all, asking me to register my laptop etc! Everything seemed gone except some game icons on my desktop, but when I started DM everything was gone and it started me on a new manor! EEEEEK!!! I then reset the laptop to a previous day but all that accomplished was to also reset the first user account to default settings! Later I thought to reboot once more and lo and behold, everything was miraculously back! Needless to say that was a huge shock for me as I hadn't backed up any of my manors! Now I saved the roaming files but am not even sure if I did it correctly, can't find those old posts. I just hope that this was only a hiccup and not the prelude to something more serious. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I read something about corrupted user profiles but the description doesn't fit, as I did nothing to repair the profiles.

PS What's interesting in all this, is that although I started two new manors (one in every user account), when I got the old manors back the newbies disappeared, even though I had played them for a few levels! Resetting to a previous date probably did this, but I didn't think it were possible. Anyway, if they had not vanished, I would now have a couple more manors...

Abbie: hehe, not forgotten but I knew about it already, so it doesn't count!!

Eli: Eek!!!! How awful!!! When I lost my computer ages ago, I created new manors and then replaced the new roaming file with the old one and they were all back (to the moment I had backed up of course, the last remaining days got lost!). But I had only 2 manors, which made things easy. Having to open 20 manors and go through the tutorial 20 times would probably drive me crazy!! Of course CS can help about this in case there is a problem (but you would not escape the 20 openings!)!!

The contradiction is that if I stop being social, I might stop playing (very risky) *but* the social aspect of the game is taking me so much time!!! I would need to take real care of my existing manors before opening a 3rd one! These junk yards drive me nuts!!! But I don't have the time right now (right now = for the last two years....)

Big plan for this weekend or next week: clean my neighbourhood and delete manors with whom I haven't exchanged anything for over 3 months (except forum friends, hoping I won't go too fast and delete by mistake!!)! Hopefully I'll be in a bad mood one day, it helps!! Having so many manors in my neighbourhood slows down my social pages and makes finding them much more complicated. Maybe I'll go down to 500, resp. 300!! Haha!!
